2021-22 Vision Board
Peace’s Vision Board consists of elected members and the Lead Pastor, and maintains the long-range vision for the congregation. The Board ensures that the mission and vision of the church are consistent with the activities of the congregation. The vision and annual budget are based on input from the ministry teams, staff, finance team and the planning boards.
Recommendations for membership are based upon an active life of service, consistent and positive involvement in ministry at Peace, an appreciation for the whole ministry of Peace, the desire to share time, talent and other resources, and a proven ability to work and serve collaboratively on a team. Nominees are elected to two-year terms with a maximum of two consecutive terms. A vote of affirmation is held once a year, usually in May.
